Real Spotify data

Connect Spotify and we use your actual top artists and genres from the last 6 months — not what you say you listen to, what you actually do.

Built to share

Drop the link in your group chat or Instagram Story. Your friends get a personalized result against your taste in one tap.

Same algo as the app

Same scoring used to match festival-goers on FestivalMates: 60% artist overlap, 40% genre overlap, with a bonus for 3+ shared artists.

How music compatibility works

Music taste is one of the strongest predictors of social compatibility. Research from the University of Cambridge found that people who share musical preferences are more likely to form lasting friendships — and at festivals, shared taste is everything. If you're both into the same DJs, you already know you'll have an incredible time together.

Artists count more than genres. Two people who both love Eric Prydz are a much stronger match than two people who both checked “Techno.” That's why this test weighs artist overlap at 60% and genre overlap at 40%, with a bonus when you share three or more artists in your top tier.

The numbers are real, not vibes. This compatibility checker uses the same Spotify-powered matching algorithm that powers FestivalMates. When you connect Spotify, we pull your top artists and genres from the last six months. No playlists, no DMs, no friend list — just the music you actually listen to.

What the score is good for. Picking your festival crew. Settling who gets aux. Finding out which of your friends will actually want to camp at the same stage as you. Posting on your story to see who replies. The fun is in the comparing.

Want to find more compatible ravers beyond your existing friend group? FestivalMates matches you with other festival-goers based on real Spotify data — same engine, but with thousands of people heading to the same festivals as you.

Frequently asked questions

How does the music compatibility test work?
We compare your music taste using the same algorithm that powers FestivalMates matching. If you connect Spotify, we analyze your top artists and genres from the last 6 months. The algorithm weighs shared artists (60%) and genre overlap (40%), with a bonus for 3+ shared artists. Scores range from 0–100%. It's the same scoring system used to match festival-goers on the platform.
Do I need Spotify to take the test?
No. You can manually pick your top 5 genres and search for your favorite artists instead. Spotify gives the most accurate results because it uses your actual listening data, but the manual option works great too — especially if you stream on Apple Music, Tidal, YouTube Music, or anywhere else.
What does the compatibility score mean?
90%+ is Soul Mates — you listen to the same artists and genres. 75–89% is Festival Twins — strong overlap, you'd have an amazing time at a festival together. 60–74% is Good Vibes — enough shared taste to bond over. 40–59% is Worth a Chat — different tastes but some common ground. Below 40% is Different Vibes — opposites attract, right?
Is my Spotify data safe?
We only read your top artists and genres — we never modify your Spotify account, access your playlists, or store your Spotify credentials. The data is stored temporarily (7 days) for the compatibility check and then automatically deleted. We don't sell or share your data with anyone.
Can I check compatibility with more than one friend?
Yes. After checking your results, click 'Start Over' to generate a new link. Each comparison creates a unique shareable link, so you can run the test against your whole crew. It's the fastest way to figure out who you should actually go to a festival with — and who's better off with a different lineup.
Does FestivalMates cost money?
FestivalMates is free to use. Core features including Spotify matching, squads, festival budget planning, packing lists, and the set planner are all free. FestivalMates Pro (€4.99/month) unlocks unlimited vibes, streak freezes, full leaderboards, and the Pro badge.
